In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Tractatus put an end to philosophy in 1921, it was those words that ended that long debate of things that were never understood.
The Kabbalist tradition forms it's incantations from the Alef-Bet, the Socratic dialogs are but words, and the Christian message is the Logos-- we are made of words, and are moved forward by words. A finite set of words is finite, so we too are finite.
What is the point of all the words, incantations, philosophy, or the visions of profits, if we do not function to the forms we profess.
Evil, is but another word, it has been with us from the beginning of time, also with no real meaning. This word has served as a fine garment for all the pointless acts of stupidity, and petty pride that has taken the fruits that belong to the other.
We are an absurd species that make wars to end wars. We rationalize evil as the product of survival. There was nothing rational about us, all we have left behind is the pointless desire to take something that is not ours. Because we are too, stupid, lazy, or incompetent to provide for ourselves.Too insecure, too proud to stop measuring ourselves against the other.
If all conflicts are because someone wants something the other has, simplicity, this is the ideal method of conflict resolution.
Build that inclusive imagined utopian world no one will take away from you.
Give of yourself, and require your enemy to accept your kindness. Spend the same amount of treasure you would have used to process war, to give a kindness. Send in specialized armed units that educate, and build your ideal worlds. People, and boots on the ground providing education, security, and kindness. Torture them with education.
Recognize that all that you call evil comes from the fact you do not love the other. We were all made to live under the same God, who are you to judge others. If you have fail to understand, love them.
Lets take the worst case, the sociopath.
This individual has no empathy, is not well understood, and is not generally appreciated. They make good butchers, don't they! The recognition that the medical profession came for the butchers trade will tell you that someone that is less emotionally affected by blood and human death has a valuable role in our land. Also the person that can stand on a hill and kill more people will in fact save the people that would not act in a time of war.
So how do you control the sociopath when there is no war? You recognize the person, and valued then as you would any other. You love what you thought was your enemy. The sociopath no longer needs to hide, if hidden he would most certainly do you more harm.
Even the the sociopath will guide himself by the recognition that doing good has an economic and social value to him.
Christianity is the primary wester religion and for the west, war is the result of Christianities failure.
If given a choice between punishment, jail or war - vs - help, and kindfness, who could say no?
